Washdown & Waterproof Scales Help

Q: Which washdown scale would you recommend for food industry use?

A: This depends on the particular industry as well as how the washdown scale is intended to be used. Retail or shop scales such as the WBZ Washdown Retail Scale are perfectly suited for food weighing applications and come complete with digital weighing and price computing capabilities. Additionally, the WBZ Washdown Retail Scale comes equipped with an easy to use interface that features a sealed keypad for easy cleaning, providing the ideal food weighing scale.

Q: What do IP ratings mean?

A: IP ratings are a grading system used to determine the level of dust and water protection a scale or balance offers. The rating system works in ascending order with 1 representing low protection or vulnerable to dust and water, and 8 the highest level of protection meaning that the device is dustproof or waterproof. For example, our IWS waterproof scales offer IP68 protection which works out to a level 6 in dust protection and a level 8 in water protection, meaning that this scale offers the best level of water protection currently available.
